Chapter 472 (2/2)
This evaluation is very pertinent.
Domingo sighed softly.
In fact, as an excellent general, how could Domingo not see the gap between the private army in his territory and the urban defense army of void city? Although this gap is indeed small enough to be ignored, for Domingo, who is very competitive, this gap has become a flaw that can not be ignored. Why can a very lazy army become so elite in a critical moment?
Domingo doesn't understand.
However, if he knew that the predecessor of the urban defense force of void city was a mercenary regiment, it would not be difficult for him to understand.
”I finally understand why master Gerson is so hostile to the Lord.” Domingo whispered.
Upon hearing the speech, Taylor and Thain were stunned.
Domingo's evaluation of Sean is tantamount to admitting that he is inferior to Sean. If they were ordinary people, Taylor and Thain would not be surprised, but they were the closest people around Domingo. Of course, they knew what kind of person Domingo was, so it was an extraordinary shock to hear the arrogant Domingo admit that he was not as good as Sean.
You know, even in the kingdom of dabion, there are no more than ten people who can make Domingo admit that he is inferior!
”But there will be no Sean Connery after tonight.”
Domingo obviously has great confidence in the assassin he sent. In fact, since he contacted him, the task entrusted to the other party has never failed, even if he was asked to assassinate a strong man who half stepped into the holy land. There is such a case for reference analysis. Domingo does not think that Sean will have the possibility of failure in the face of less than golden strength.
Almost when Domingo's words fell, the door was opened by a young man.
Domingo turned to the young man, smiled and said, ”the rest...”
Before Domingo finished, the young man he sent to assassinate Sean took out a money bag from his body and threw it in front of Domingo. This scene made Domingo a little stunned. A moment later, Domingo's face was shocked: ”how can you fail!?”
The young man, that is, the Creed Assassin from the assassin alliance, immediately snorted coldly, but his eyes were a little more dissatisfied: ”the target is seriously inconsistent with the information you give This time, in addition to me, six other shadow assassins also tried to assassinate the target. As a result, five of the six shadow assassins died on the spot, and the remaining one escaped injured. I took advantage of the chaos and failed. ”
”This...” Domingo's face showed an incredible color, ”how is this possible?”
”Are you doubting me?” The young man stared at Domingo with cold eyes.
”Your Excellency misunderstood.” At this time, it was Thain who interrupted. ”Your Excellency just means to be surprised by the result, not to doubt your excellency.”
The young man snorted coldly, but still opened his mouth and said, ”for the sake of our pleasant cooperation in the past, I'll tell you another news. Although I don't know who sent the six shadow assassins, the other party must have thought of a way out long ago, because I saw the other party sneak into the embassy and leave clues along the way. As long as someone has a heart to track down, they will come here soon. ”
Hearing the young man's words, Domingo, Thain and Taylor changed their faces immediately.
They really want to assassinate Sean, but as long as there is no evidence, the first suspect will not be them. After all, Domingo used reverse thinking at the beginning. Under the eyes of the peace association, they have absolutely enough reasons to prove that they have no motive to kill. But now the situation is different. If the shadow assassin who failed to assassinate Sean really hid in the Lord's house, it would be difficult to escape even without evidence.
”Take care of yourself.” The young man said in a deep voice and immediately turned around to leave.
”Wait, you can't go now.” Domingo suddenly said, ”if you leave now, there will be one less escort with me, and it will be more difficult for me to get rid of my suspicion.”
”If I don't go, you'll die faster.” The young man sneered, ”I had a face-to-face photo with the Lord. If I killed him at that time, it's OK to say, but the problem is that my assassination failed. If I'm found here, then you'll really get the stolen goods, and you won't even have a chance to get rid of the suspicion. ”
Hearing the young man's words, Domingo was a little stunned: ”how... Could it be like this...”
According to the plan, Sean should be a dead man, so that even if someone doubts them, they will never have any evidence. But now, not only Sean is not dead, but also a third party has mixed in - of course, Domingo also knows that in fact, whether the plan is finally implemented or not, he will become the scapegoat of the third party, which can be well proved by the six shadow assassins.
At this moment, Domingo really has a painful illusion of lifting a stone and hitting his own foot.
”Father, they have surrounded us.”
After the young man left, Thain immediately went to the window. Unexpectedly, he saw teams of heavy infantry wearing black armor, which was obviously different from the urban defense army, began to surround the embassy. At the same time, archers with long bows continued to climb to the nearby roof. At this time, I'm afraid even a bird could not fly out.
